Abstract Background Conventional percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) are mainly guided by C-arm fluoroscopy, and it usually leads to excessive X-ray radiation exposure to patients, surgeons, and anesthetists. Moreover, multi-time fluoroscope may prolong the operation time. 3D-printed template could help minimize fluoroscopy shot times and fluoroscopy dosage during operation, and shorten operation time. We perform this study to compare the efficacy and accuracy of PVP assisted by “three-dimensional printed individual guide template” versus conventional PVP. Method Patients who suffered acute painful single segment osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture(OVCF) needed operative treatment were randomly assigned into three-dimensional printing individual guide template-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty group (group A) or conventional PVP guided by C-arm fluoroscopy group (group B) at a 1:1 ratio. Fluoroscopy times for puncture points (FTPP), total radiation dosages (TRD), total fluoroscopy time (TFT), and total operation time (TOT) were recorded as the main evaluation factors to evaluate the two operation procedures. Results A total of 36 acute painful single segment OVCF patients were successfully operated on, and each group has 18 patients. None of the patients presented symptomatic complications. The surgical success rate in group A was 94.4%(17/18), one patient in the group A was failed and then operated by conventional procedure. FTPP (1.8 ± 0.8 in group A vs 5.2 ± 1.9 in group B, P < 0.05), TRD (4.9 ± 0.9 mGy vs 7.9 ± 1.6 mGy, P < 0.05), TFT (16.7 ± 2.9 vs 26.6 ± 5.3, P < 0.05), and total operation time (19.4 ± 2.4 min vs 27.8 ± 4.0 min, P < 0.05) were presented statistically difference in the two groups. The incidence of cement leakage occurred in group A (3/18, 16.7%) was less than that occurred in group B (7/18, 38.9%) (P > 0.05). Conclusions Compared with the conventional PVP, “three-dimensional-printed individual guide template-assisted PVP” could minimize fluoroscopy shot times during operation and fluoroscopy dosage, shorten operation time, and is a more precise and feasible operation method. Trial registration The present study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) (http://www.chictr.org.cn), and its registration no. is ChiCTR1900024283.

Objective. In this randomized, nonblinded, controlled study, the feasibility and precision of “targeted percutaneous vertebroplasty” (“targeted PVP”) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) was evaluated. Methods. A total of 42 patients, aged 50 to 87 years, with OVCF were randomly divided into 2 groups: A and B. Group A underwent “targeted PVP,” and group B underwent traditional PVP with the guidance of C-arm fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy times for skin puncture points (FTSPP), total radiation doses (TRD), total fluoroscopy times (TFT), and operation time were set as the main evaluation indicators. Results. FTSPP (1.52 ± 0.51 in group A vs 6.62 ± 2.58 in group B, U < .001), TRD (6.26 ± 1.51 in group A vs 11.32 ± 4.21 in group B, P < .001), TFT (16.57 ± 2.79 in group A vs 26.05 ± 6.18 in group B, P < .001), and operation time (20.05 ± 3.38 in group A vs 25.43 ±5.11 in group B, U < .001) were statistically different in the 2 groups. The incidence of cement leakage that occurred in group A (1/21, 4.76%) was significantly less than that in group B (9/21, 42.9%, P < 0.05). Conclusions. “Targeted PVP” may achieve (1) less skin positioning fluoroscopy times, less total fluoroscopy times and dose, shorter operation time, which is more precise than traditional PVP; (2) less incidence of cement leakage; and (3) visualization of the fractured vertebra, which is probably more valuable for the treatment of complicated OVCF patients.

Objectives This study analyzed the effects of rosuvastatin and zoledronic acid in combination on patient recovery following percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) that was performed to treat senile osteoporotic vertebral compression. Methods Senile patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (n = 120) were included in this retrospective study, and they were classified into two groups. Those in the control group (n = 60) were treated with PVP + caltrate and those in the observation group (n = 60) received this treatment with combined zoledronic acid and rosuvastatin. Between-group comparisons were made at both pre- and post-treatment regarding bone density, type I procollagen peptide (CTX) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) levels, visual analog scale (VAS) score, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score, and adjacent centrum refracture. Results Bone density was higher and BAP and CTX levels as well as ODI and VAS scores were lower at post-treatment in the observation group compared with the control group. The refracture rate in the observation group was lower compared with the control group. Conclusion Treatment with a combination of rosuvastatin and zoledronic acid following PVP can improve the condition of senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture and patient’s functional status, and it can also alleviate pain.
